ABSTRACT
In this paper I will talk about the destiny of humanity in
the Cosmos as it is now unfolding before us. I will also talk
about the Rainbow Declaration, which is my attempt to
bring together what is good and precious from the human
heritage with what we now know of the Cosmos, to the end
that humanitys future will be good and it will achieve its
appropriate destiny. However, this paper is really about
knowledge and dialogue.
____________________
Introduction: Star Trek or Star Wars?
For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when
that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part
shall be done away. When I was a child, I thought as a
child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to
face: now I know in part; but then I shall know even as also
I am known. I Corinthians 13:9-12
When we speak of knowledge and the human future, we
are speaking of the increase of knowledge. In the future,
humanity will know much more than it knows now. It will
go places it has never been, do and feel things it has never
before experienced. A very important aspect of this
knowledge will be to learn more about the other peoples
with whom we share the Cosmos. Part of that process of
learning is going on now. However, this is not a scientific
investigation like any other we humans have done. It is not
like studying the motion of bacteria in a test tube; it is a
dialogue.

A dialogue is what occurs between two or more sentient

beings; it is basically an exchange of information.
Humanity is probably now engaged in a dialogue with
peoples from other planets that orbit other stars. This
dialogue has its origins in the distant past, but it seems to
have only begun in earnest in the last fifty years. Many
species seem to have been involved, but only a few species
seem to be playing an active continuing role in the present
course of this dialogue. We know something of this
dialogue, which appears to be between primarily our
government and the extraterrestrials. What is reported
from this dialogue will be discussed in this paper;
however, the reported dialogue will also be used to help
create a vision of human destiny in the Cosmos.
It was the consistent theme of the popular series, Star
Trek, that the human race would become a great and
enlightened power in the Cosmos and be joined in
partnership with peoples kindred to humanity. This
partnership, known as the Federation, was made up of
interstellar powers more or less in agreement on the ideals
of democracy, freedom, and dignity of the individual,
reverence for life and even reverence to God. In this
Federation, the idea of separate species of intelligence was
occasionally transcended so that beings looked on each
other as kindred despite their differing biological form.
An equally hopeful, but somewhat darker and more
mysterious, vision of the human future was seen in Star
Wars. In this vision the humans had created an Evil
Empire and against it a Rebel Alliance composed of
humans and other species battled desperately. The theme
of Star Wars was hope and the struggle between good and
evil on both physical and moral planes, with good being
aided by the Force. So there exist different visions of the
future.
It is my belief that something more like the world of Star
Trek will be the ultimate destiny of humanity and that this
destiny is something that we should strive for. But how will
such a destiny be accomplished? Can we avoid Star Wars
completely or is it also prophetic? In particular, how will
our interaction, our dialogue, with more technologically

advanced peoples of the Cosmos, who are already

starfaring and have reportedly already arrived here, affect
us and how will this shape our destiny? Is our destiny Star
Wars or Star Trek?
Humanity is reportedly now engaged in a dialogue with
extraterrestrial peoples. Ufology exists because of a state
of honest ignorance of this dialogue on the part of the
public. Honest ignorance can be defined as a recognized
lack of knowledge. The Ufology movement is a brave
vanguard of humanity that admits its ignorance of the
Cosmos and those who dwell in it and seeks to erase this
ignorance. Because of this we know Ufology will one day
cease to exist in its present form because of new
knowledge that will appear. Those in Ufology are brave not
only because they risk ridicule from those who cling to the
everyday, but because this is the real Cosmos we live in
not a fairy taleand some pieces of knowledge we will gain
we may wish we did not know. But learning unpleasant
truths is an essential part of maturing. If you turn away
some truths because you cannot bear them, you can never
really grow up. But we in Ufology are determined to grow
and mature and know.
Knowledge is power, knowledge confers authority, and
knowledge confers responsibility. For these reasons,
governments often guard certain knowledges carefully.
One of the most important concepts in our governments
classification system to safeguard secrets is the concept of
need to know. Authorities decide what must be done in a
situation and who must do it and then portion out, ideally,
only those knowledges to each person that are necessary
for them to do their job. Usually, such secrecy and
portioning out of knowledge occurs in situations thought
to gravely impact our nations security and defenses. The
authority given the government to restrict certain
knowledge is a sacred trust that derives from its duty to
defend us. But, if the government is concealing a dialogue
with extraterrestrials, is it defending us from the
knowledge of the ETs existence, or is this secrecy only part
of an effort to defend us from some subgroup of the ETs
themselves? I think the answer is some of both, but is this
consistent with democracy?

In a democracy the people rule and in order to rule

effectively they seek knowledge, and they seek the
responsibility that goes with that knowledge. In doing this,
they seek responsibility for their own destiny.
It is wholly right that you in Ufology should seek
knowledge of this matter. Humanitys dialogue with the
extraterrestrials is a grave matter, a matter that concerns
all humanity and will affect the destiny of humanity. You
have a need to know. In one sense the Ufology movement
is part of the effort of humanity to gain transcendent
knowledge. However, in another sense, your efforts to gain
knowledge, and the responsibility that goes with it, is an
effort to gain control of part of your lives and your
childrens lives and the destiny of your people. This is
especially true since reports of deep and longstanding
government involvement in this dialogue have come out.
However, Ufology has succeeded to a degree in entering
this dialogue between humanity and the extraterrestrials.
Ufology is a player, I would argue, in the reported dialogue
between humanity and the extraterrestrials. The
government apparently is keeping much of this dialogue to
itself. However, it is also actively sharing information,
sometimes in a deliberately garbled form, but information
nonetheless. Some of this sharing of knowledge seems to
come from the individual human need to confide with
others. Some of this knowledge appears to have been
released as a result of decisions by higher authorities to
create an informed constituency among the public. The
cultivation of the Ufology movements knowledge by the
government represents, in my view, a crude form of
democracy.
In this strange experiment in government, the authorities
have created a public hearing of sorts where unofficial
news and views are aired and reactions considered.
Ufology is the multitude who have showed up for this
quasi-public hearing. However, the officials who have
called this gathering are not available to answer questions.
But, I think, the government pays attention to Ufologys
internal debates and responses to the government
sponsored leaks.

No dialogue is one way, even if one side tries to make it one

way. A dialogue always affects both parties, even if only
one side is speaking. The act of giving information to one
whom you know will receive it involves you with that
person or that people. If a dialogue goes on long enough,
information will be revealed inadvertently and pretense is
harder to maintain. Ufology has not been a passive partner
in this dialogue with the government. Ufology is speaking
and will continue to speak, and the government, even if it
gives appearances of stopping its ears, is actually listening.
Therefore, all of you in Ufology should consider that you
are part of a dialogue with the government.
This is not the only dialogue going of which Ufology is a
part. Ufology is actually in a dialogue with the
extraterrestrials through abductees and contactees. As
with the government, not all information is very reliable,
but it is information. It is possible, in fact, that
extraterrestrials monitor the reaction of the Ufology
movement to gain some insight into humanity in general.
Therefore, all of you in Ufology should consider yourselves
as part of a dialogue that will influence human destiny in
the Cosmos.
In the remainder of this paper I will discuss three main
points:
It is the destiny of humanity to take its place among the
stars as an equal with its kindred people among the stars.
In discussing this, I will discuss the nature and heritage of
humanity.
The cradle of humanity, the Earth, with its nations and
history, is a microcosm of the Cosmos and its peoples and
history. I will discuss how this concept is derived and its
meaning to Ufology. I will also, unfortunately, discuss the
first problem in the present that can be addressed by this
model: The apparent threat posed to humanity by one
group of extraterrestrials, the grays or Reticulians and
their allies.
Humanity should adopt the Rainbow Declaration or some
similar set of principles as its ideal and in doing so will

begin the journey to its destiny on the right Way, the Way
of truth and light (ref. 1).
Humanity as a Superterrestrial Phenomenon
When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the
moon and stars which thou hast ordained; What is man,
that thou are mindful of him, the son of man, that thou
visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the
angels and hast crowned him with glory and honor. Thou
madest him to have dominion over the works of they
hands; thou has put all things under his feet..... Psalms
8:3-6
In order to understand human destiny one must first
understand the nature and origins of humanity. Humanity
is not just flesh and blood; it is partly supernatural; it is
also the collective mind, dreams and cultural heritage of
the human race. Physically we have changed little since the
stone age, but in knowledge and technological ability we
have changed enormously.
We are a young race, just getting started. Our earliest
civilization dates roughly from the Tigris-Euphrates Valley
6000 years ago (ref. 2). In that 6000 years we have
expanded and filled the Earth, our flesh and blood has
stood on the lunar surface and returned six times. Our
probes have landed on Mars and Venus. We, by proxy of
similar probes, have visited every major body in the solar
system from Mercury to Neptune. Four of these probes
have now escaped the solar system and the gravity of the
Sun and are on interstellar missions. So a little part of you,
the work of your hands, is now on its way to the stars.
Six thousand years is roughly 300 human generations of
20 years or 100 human lifetimes of 60 years. So this is
perhaps not even a long time in human terms, but it is the
twinkling of an eye in terms of the age of the Earth or even
the living things on the Earth. You humans, all in all, have
done magnificently.
How did you do it? Did anyone help you? Let us consider
what is widely reported. In Ufology, as in many other areas
of life, information consists of what is reported to us by

others, hopefully we can verify some of what is reported,

but often we must simply consider the report and decide
for ourselves whether or not we believe it.
It is widely reported that humanity came into being as a
result of profound and continuing contact between the
human
race
and
an
unimaginably
powerful
extraterrestrial being. This being, or First ET, is called in
our language, God. I know and respect the fact that there
are many accounts, all subtly different, of this contact, but
I will chiefly consult the only account I know well, and this
account is called the Bible.
In this account, the First ET is reported to have been of
staggering and all encompassing power but was at the
same time compassionate towards humanity and
controlled in his dealings with them. He is re ported to be
the creator of the Cosmos and therefore extracosmic in
addition to being extraterrestrial, having created both
heavens and the earth and all they contain.
It is reportedly from God that humans first received their
concepts of law and human identity and their place in the
scheme of things. I would claim this contact has
continually linked our ideas of what was good and pure
and truthful to the heavens. It is because of this contact
that we long to reach out to the stars and those who live
there.
It is in this record of contact with the First ET that we first
encounter the human concept of universal laws, both
physical and moral, and these are also associated with the
stars.
The Heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament
showeth his handy work. Day unto day uttereth speech and
night showeth knowledge. There is no speech or language,
where their voice is not heard. Psalms 19:1-3
We also learned that there was more to reality than what is
seen.
We are familiar, in our modern age, of laws of physics
being universal. Our sciences had their origins in

astronomy and astrology. But from our accounts of contact

with the First ET, we also are in formed that there are
universal moral laws as well as physical ones that apply on
all worlds.
It is also from this record that we encounter our first
recognition and warning concerning the dark side of
human nature:
And God saw that the wickedness of man was great in the
Earth and that every imagination of the thoughts of his
heart was only evil continually... Genesis 6:5
The human race is an aggressive, predatory and vigorous
species. It requires the maximum effort of our intellect
and compassion to control our instincts to violence and
war; sometimes, perhaps often times, these are not
enough. However, the First ET has always encouraged us
to be a people of compassion and intellect.
Curiously, it is from this same record of the First ET
contact with humanity that we find reports of a possible
visitation of Earth by flesh and blood extraterrestrials.
These ETs were not only flesh and blood, but could have
children by Earth women, indicating they were probably
extremely humanoid since they were attracted to Earth
women and saw they were beautiful. Mention of this is
made in Genesis 6:4.
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen. For by it the elders obtained a
good report. Through faith we understand that the worlds
were formed by the word of God so that things which are
seen are not made of things which do appear. Hebrews
11:1-3
This was apparently one of many things that God saw
happening on Earth that displeased Him. Perhaps even
the last straw, for it is written that He unleashed the
great flood shortly after this. The flood, that primal human
catastrophe, is recorded in the legends of almost every
people on Earth and wiped out most of humanity,
including, we can infer, those offspring of flesh and blood
ETs. It is written, God started over with what was left.

10

Other than this possible mention of flesh and blood ET

contact before the flood in the Bible, which may also be
mentioned in many mythologies, I have seen no credible
evidence of any overt or historically significant contact
with flesh and blood ETs in the historical record dating
back to 1000 B.C. Geologically, the origin of homo sapiens
is sudden, but it has been found that all distinct species
seem to appear suddenly. This is called punctuated
equilibrium in evolutionary biology (ref. 3).
Other than reportings of sightings of strange craft that
occasionally appear in the historical record, I can find no
evidence of influence by flesh and blood ETs on any
historical events. What does show up is a tradition and
folklore concerning goblins stealing children, tales of
fairies, leprechauns, elves and spirits. This tradition may
indicate some ET contact on the fringe of human social
awareness, as has been suggested by Whitley Strieber (ref.
4). I think, also, it reflects to a much larger extent, human
imagination and love of story telling. These strange
accounts also include other things which may be purely
terrestrial but not really part of a reality that we
understand.
Though the records of events before the primal
catastrophe of the Flood are difficult to understand, it
remains the one significant human event that may have
involved flesh and blood ET contact.
It is worth noting that the record implies that this contact,
along with many other things purely terrestrial, had
disastrous consequences for the human race because of
the manner in which the contact was made. It is written in
Genesis 6:2:
The sons and daughters saw the daughters of men that
they were very fair, and they took them wives of all which
they chose...
This record implies that these unions were dictated by the
Sons of God, a term used sometimes to mean angel, and
not by choice of the Earth women. These reported events,
and the juxtaposition with the

11

Flood and Gods displeasure, should be remembered as we

consider reports of what is occurring in our own time. It
also must be remembered that according to the account of
the contact with the First ET in the Bible, evil is not a
terrestrial invention; it was present in the Cosmos eons
before the first human being.
The Bible and other religious records of Earth, record that
both good and evil are not purely terrestrial phenomenon.
Ananda Sirisena has pointed out in a two-part article in the
British journal Beyond Science (now defunct) that the holy
books of Buddhism remark that sense-desire, which is the
source of all unhappiness, is to be found throughout the
Cosmos (ref. 5). In the Bible, it is written in Job, 15:15
The heavens are not clean in His sight.
It is also written in Revelations 12:7-9 that there was war in
heaven between the Archangel Michael and his angels, and
the Devil and his angels. These are only two of many
examples one could name. In general, the records of our
reported contact with the First ET report repeatedly that
the Cosmos, both visible and invisible, is full of good and
evil and that these forces struggle against one another,
Earth being an important battleground of this Cosmic
struggle.
This brings us to the second widely reported ET contact
that has influenced Earth. This being is known as Satan,
Lucifer, or the Devil. Like the first ET, he is reported to be
non-corporeal. However, he is reported to be a created
being and part of the Cosmos whereas God is the Creator.
His powers and intellect are reported to be unimaginably
great in human terms but, like ours, insignificant
compared to Gods. It is also reported that despite his
intellectual powers, he often makes mistakes that are
apparent even to humans. His first reported error was to
try and stage an unsuccessful revolt against his Creator.
Most of what we know about the Second ET, Satan, comes
from information reported to be from the First ET This
record allows us to make a vivid comparison between them
in two important areas: One, dialogue with humans; The

12

First ET is recorded to be always truthful, though he

seldom shows more knowledge than is required. In
contrast, the Second ET, Satan, is reported to be a
compulsive liar and virtual inventor of treachery. It is
reported he often claims to be the First ET and often traps
victims with empty promises of forbidden knowledge and
technology. Second, relationship with humanity; the First
ET is widely reported to love the human race and all other
peoples of the Cosmos as if they were his children.
However, he is also reported to hold us responsible for our
actions, which, knowing the human race, means we
occasionally are at odds. The Second ET, Satan, is reported
to be utterly contemptuous and hateful towards humans,
especially those who serve him. His hostility is constant,
though often expressed through treachery and attempts to
corrupt, rather than through open warfare.
It is reported that though the Devil hates humanity and
wishes to destroy us, he cannot attack openly because of
the presence of the First ET. Therefore, we learn that
absence of open attack does not always mean absence of
mortal hostility. It merely means that the Cosmos is not
simple, and that many factors constrain the actions of its
inhabitants.
Humanity is thus not a purely terrestrial phenomenon.
Even our science is full of knowledge known first from
observation of the stars. If the records of our contract with
the First ET are believed, humanity is the product of
influences that are not only extraterrestrial but
extracosmic, that is, transcending even the stars. If these
reported contacts with God are correct, and many believe
they are, then humanity knows far more about the Cosmos
and its peoples than it realizes. It knows these things
because it knows the Being who made the Cosmos and its
peoples, including ourselves. Humanity, and by this, I
mean the readers themselves, are possessors of Cosmic
knowledge, but they do not know it yet. However, to know
something of humanity one must understand that a part of
humanity, like its Creator, is extremely mysterious and
some of it is unknowable.
To know something of humanity is to know of its mystery
and its magic. There is a part of humanity that only God

13

himself understands. I speak here of a whole category of

phenomenon
with
the
inadequate
terms
parapsychological and spiritualthat part of ourselves
that is manifest in religion, and yet seems to exist apart
from it. One aspect of this was termed by Jung as the
collective unconscious (ref. 6). This is the part of humanity
that seems to guarantee that no knowledge can ever
remain isolated in one portion of the human race, even if
they never tell anyone of it. Another can be called human
presciencethat human capacity to write or speak of
events still far in the future with uncanny accuracy, science
fiction being a vast upwelling of this human phenomenon.
No statement describing humanity could be complete
without referring to this part of humanity which is
mysterious and difficult to describe.
Therefore, humanity is a superterrestrial phenomenon. It
is partly supercosmic, partly flesh and blood, partly
science and cultural heritage, part war and part peace,
part plum wine, part espresso, part Mozart, part rock and
roll. It is part get along, to move along, part liberty or
death. Humanity is partly known and partly unknowable,
partly good and partly evil. Humanity is a people of the
Cosmos, created by the same Creator that created the
Cosmos.
Therefore, you should respect yourself and your people.
You know more about the Cosmos than you realize. You
are stronger and more marvelous than you know. You
should not be arrogant, but you should be proud. You lack
knowledge, but you are eager to learn. You are small now
but you are going to become great and becoming is
superior to being. You are a young and vigorous people,
just off the train and in the big city for the first time, bent
on finding your fortune. So now that we have an image of
humanity as it was formed and is, we can speak of the
destiny of humanity in the Cosmos.
The Destiny of Humanity
Hints of what our destiny will be are contained, I believe,
in the record of our contact with the First ET who pointed
us to our goal. He said in paraphrase, someday if you
follow the Way I have shown you, you can join me in the

14

heavens of which the stars are but a shadow. God, in fact,

showed Abraham the stars and said in Genesis 15:5.
And He brought him forth abroad, and said, look now
towards heaven and tell the stars, if thou be able to
number them. And he said, so shall thy seed be.
There is also another hint, for Jesus told his disciples in
Mark 16:15,
Go ye unto all the world and preach the gospel to every
creature.
For in the original Greek, the word for world is Cosmos
(ref. 7), meaning the whole world, the whole ordered
universe.
I know in myself, that humanity is going into space because
it yearns to do so. The goal of its yearning is not just to see
strange new worlds; it is to have fellowship with the
peoples who dwell amid the stars and share truth with
them. In a sense we are going into space to meet other
people and engage in a dialogue that we hope will confirm
truths that we already believe. That is part of the reason
that Ufology exists, not just because people in Ufology are
curious or concerned but also because we seek to be part of
that dialogue.
We have, on good account, that such a dialogue is possible,
as recorded in Timothy Goods book Above Top Secret.
There is an account of Sid Padricks experience (ref. 8)
where he encountered startlingly humanoid beings who
were kind and respectful and who invited him to pray to
God in their consultation room. They said they
worshipped the same Supreme Being we did. This reported
encounter, whose positive, respectful character is such a
stark contrast to most reported encounters, give us hope
that we will find what we seek in the stars. But you must
realize we inhabit a star already.
Our star, Sol, the Sun, is a beautiful golden star from afar.
Around it orbits a beautiful blue-white star of a planet
called Earth, for that is what our planet looks like from
afar. Venus, Jupiter, and Mars are beautiful from Earth,

15

but I tell you when you see the Earth someday from the
surface of Mars you will understand that the Earth is the
most beautiful planet in the solar system, or even in a
hundred solar systems. That is partly why other peoples
have come here.
So I will tell you I believe it is the destiny of humanity to go
out into the stars and become a great nation and find its
place among the stars and among the great nations that
dwell in the stars; nations whose people believe in God and
justice, equality, and good will as we do, and who, when
they read our Bible or the Declaration of Independence,
will rejoice that the same truths they know are known
elsewhere and from the same source.
Dynamics Between Peoples in the Cosmos
We have now discussed humanity and its destiny, but how
will our destiny be shaped by those peoples with whom we
share the Cosmos? In particular, is there some model or
broad guideline to consult to under stand the dynamics or
politics between nations or peoples who have their genesis
in different star systems? We can come up with a rough
model by assuming that the laws of physics and biology are
the same everywhere in the Cosmos. Once such a model of
cosmic politics is formed, it can be applied to understand
and predict the interactions between humanity and its
fellow cosmic peoples.
A model of cosmic politics can be derived from biology. We
must assume that the laws of biology are universal, so that
they are the same on all worlds, like the laws of physics.
Since we know about the laws determining biology on
Earth, we would then know about biology laws on all
worlds. We must, of course, recognize from the outset that
we can only gain a rough understanding at best using this
method, but we must have a model and we must begin
somewhere. So, we look for basic and fundamental laws
rather than detailed ones. We will thus look for laws that
describe forests rather than trees. Once we have identified
fundamental biological laws, we then try to find laws of
politics on Earth that can be derived from them. We will
then have a rough model.

16

The first law of biology can be called the survival of the

fittest. This means that all life is essentially competitive.
This means those who are more intelligent, faster,
stronger, more diligent, more fertile, more efficient, and
more prudent will eventually dominate over those who
have less of these qualities. This seems a harsh law of
nature, but in some ways it is actually kind. In any case,
nature is not often known to be kind or gentle.
One impact of the first law of biology is that intelligence is
favored in predators. On Earth, predators are generally
more intelligent than their prey. They must be or their
prey will outwit them and the predators will not eat. The
octopus is the most intelligent of all invertebrates and it is
a fierce predator. The killer whale is believed to be the
smartest of the whales and it is a vicious killer of other
whales.
The Chimpanzee is the second smartest land animal, and
its capacity for mayhem against other species and even
other chimps, rivals our own (ref. 9). Curiously,
researchers were slow to recognize how murderous
chimps were to each otherfighting between tribes and
occasionally killing their own young. Perhaps the
researchers did not want to believe the chimps were as
prone to violence as we are. Even when researchers found
out the harsh facts about internal wars between chimps
they were reluctant to report it. They feared it would
horrify people and dry up research funding. People were
not horrified; however, they were enlightened, and
chimpanzee research in the wild continues. The truth
makes chimps all the more fascinating and useful to study
if human violence is to be understood and controlled.
Another example of the correlation of intelligence and
predatory behavior is the line of dinosaurs that appeared
to be evolving towards something resembling humanoids
before an extraterrestrial event wiped them out (ref. 10).
It is now believed that a line of small predator dinosaurs,
roughly resembling miniature Tyrannosaurus Rexs, would
have developed into a humanoid intelligence. They stood
on two feet and several species had achieved brain to body
sizes exceeding all other dinosaurs and even mammals

17

then existing. However, the impact of a massive asteroid, a

clear
sign
this
planets
history
has
witnessed
extraterrestrial intervention, devastated the planet and
cleared the Way for humanity.
Human beings are predatory. Humanity began as hunters
and gatherers but hunting behavior did not cease when
humans discovered agricultureit merely changed. The
archeological record shows that organized warfare began
almost simultaneously with agriculture (ref. 11).
Historically, tribes and nations have fought wars and
struggled for dominance as a form of biological
competition. The apparent victory of the United States in
the Cold War is a demonstration that democracy and free
enterprise, while not without their faults, have become
dominant, because they are better and more efficient in
the long run, or even the short run, than despotism and
Marxism. So our own violent history, which despite its
violence has produced the triumph of liberty and
humanity, can be understood as a vast game of survival of
the fittest among groups of rather predatory and
aggressive beings.
But there is another law of biology that also played a
profound role in this and which we must also factor into
our cosmic political model.
The second law of Biology is roughly the sum is greater
than the parts. Or stated differently, in cooperation and in
unity, there is strength. One human cell alone will die; one
trillion human cells bound together, each doing its part,
will thrive and triumph. So one human can do little, but a
large number can move the Earth and someday change the
course of stars. This second law, that cooperation leads to
success, is seen not only in biology but in human politics
and history.
Together these two laws and the tension between them,
competition, and cooperation, apply to and shape
intelligent and primitive life. Nations are predatory and
competitive and nations that are most competitive and
aggressive tend to produce the most works of intelligence
and technology such as our own nation and Great Britain.
Truly, United peoples and nations are much stronger and

18

efficient than individuals or isolated nations. That is why

the most powerful nation on this planet is called the
United States. Moreover, the United States is great because
it has cooperated with like-minded nations rather than
trying to prey on them. So in the United States, the first
nation of Earth, this is a sacred trust and responsibility to
humanitynot just a privilege. It is through unity and
cooperation that the nations of the Earth must face the
Cosmos.
So we have two fundamental laws of biology which should
apply everywhere in the Cosmos and which profoundly
influence the politics of human beings. So these laws
should shape politics on other worlds as well, and this
means other worldly politics should resemble our own.
We thus have arrived at a model called Mediocrity, that is
already known.
The principle of mediocrity states that the Earth and its
inhabitants are a representative sample of the Cosmos and
its inhabitants (ref. 12). This principle states that
intelligent life elsewhere should be quite similar to Earths.
Similarly it means that even politics and history should be
similar. This is the exact same model we arrived at by
assuming biological laws were the same on all worlds and
that politics was an extension of biology. The principle of
mediocrity is the same concept, but arrived at differently.
The cosmic politics model was arrived at by assuming
biological laws were the same on all worlds and that
politics was an extension of biology. The principle of
mediocrity is the same concept, but arrived at differently.
Its approach is simply statistical; it assumes Earth and its
inhabitants are the results of probability and are part of a
distribution of possible world situations, constrained by
universal laws of physics. The Earth we know is one
random sample of many worlds, so it is most likely that it
is typical rather than abnormal. Like all statistical laws, it
is a warning to would-be gamblers rather than advice on
how to bet the farm. However, our universal, biological,
political law, arguments, and mediocrity lead us to the
same concept: Earth and its peoples and history are a
microcosm of the Cosmos and its peoples and history. The

19

Earth is the Cosmos seen through a glass darkly, not

reliable in detail but roughly true. This means we all know
much more about the Cosmos than we realize, simply
because we have lived on Earth.
We have arrived at a model for understanding and
predicting the dynamics and politics between humanity
and other peoples in the Cosmos and between other people
apart from humanity. This model is called the Human
Historical Model of Cosmos Politics or simply the Human
Historical Model.
The Earth is an allegory of the Cosmos and an analogue.
This means the wisdom of Earth gained by our ancient
forbears and written in the holy books of Earth, will guide
us in our new journey in the Cosmos. For in some ways,
humanity was wiser when it knew less, but that wisdom is
not lost to us now if we see its worth. So, we would look to
the old as well as the new for counsel as we confront the
Cosmos.
The Human Historical Model
The Human Historical Model or, HHM as it will be called
henceforth, simply states that interactions between people
and nation states in the Cosmos will resemble interactions
between nations in human history.
The HHM is a tool for interpreting the behavior of
extraterrestrials; it says that if extraterrestrials exhibit
certain behavior either singly or collectively, then one
should look for an analogous human or human nations
behavior either in the present or in the historical record.
The human historical record is long, and its tribes and
nations are myriad. This means we have a vast supply of
analogous models and situations on which to draw.
However, we should always remember that the model is a
rough one and not reliable in detail. Neither is the HHM a
substitute for hard investigative work, any more than
Einsteins theory of relativity is a substitute for the Super
Collider.
The HHM is a simple idea, but it does not suggest the
Cosmos and its people are simple or mundane. Rather, it

20

suggests the Cosmos and its people should be like Earths

people, complex, finely textured, full of intrigue and
secrets, and like the Earth full of the strange and exotic. In
fact, the HHM suggests that people of the Cosmos, beyond
adherence to basic laws of biology, will be very strange,
exotic, and very interesting. The first rule for dealing with
the Cosmos according to the HHM is that high weirdness is
to be expected in the Cosmos because it is found on Earth.
Whenever intelligence is involved, possibilities become
myriad.
Other things can be expected from people in the Cosmos.
One thing that can be expected is a desire for contact and
communication. Many Cosmic people will be drawn to us
simply because of a compulsion or yearning to
communicate. This is a human trait and it is also
biologically
motivated;
cooperation
requires
communication. So, attempts at friendly contact and
communication or dialogue, even if only rudimentary
ones, would be expected under the HHM. A related
behavior would also be expected.
Display is a form of communication or dialogue that is very
common in nature. Everything from puffer fish, to
peacocks, to cobras and humans resort to display. It is a
nonverbal form of communication and so is limited in its
information content; however, it is usually easy to
understand its basic meaning. Since it is nonverbal, it does
not require a common language and thus is often the first
form of communication initiated between different
peoples in Earthly tradition. Everything from parades in
Red Square to a baby crawling into the center of a family
gathering is a form of display. Often, its basic messages
are, look what I can do, or look at who I am. Since
humans are the Earths premier show offs, followed closely
by dolphins, we would expect, under the HHM, that people
at the Cosmos would exhibit a great deal of display
behavior to each other especially at initial contact, before
verbal contact can be established. Display is an attempt to
initiate dialogue. In most situations, this is very friendly,
sometimes playful. However, it is not always friendly, and
I will discuss this shortly.

21

Struggles for dominance are universal among species on

Earth and especially among social groups within species. It
is a manifestation of competition with usually the
dominant individual or group getting the best resources
and the most opportunities to reproduce and pass on its
genes. There are pecking orders within social groups,
even among the most intelligent species. In a pecking
order situation, abuse, like water, runs down hill from the
most dominant to the most subordinate. This occurs in
small human groups, among groups in society, and finally
among nations.
Struggles for dominance occur between species also.
Chimps and baboons share watering holes in some areas of
Africa and chimps usually seem to dominate. Anyone who
has owned a dog or a cat knows struggles for power can
occur between humans and other intelligent species. So we
would expect struggles for dominance between peoples in
the Cosmos.
These might begin even before verbal communication
could be initiated and would consist, in mildest form, of
military demonstrations of power or hardware and highly
aggressive displays. These would be equivalent to U.S. and
Russian destroyers playing chicken on the high seas or
firing flares or weak (non lethal) laser beams at each
other. So, struggles for dominance, power politics, seen on
Earth between nations, should be expected between
peoples in the Cosmos. As on Earth, this can lead to either
friendly competition in science and culture or to great
tragedy.
Based on the HHM we would expect peoples in the Cosmos
to move toward a higher technological advancement. As on
Earth, we would expect this to be driven by military
competition as well as by desire for scientific knowledge.
Humans
are
social,
intelligent,
predatory,
and
technological and they have become spacefaring. We
intend to become better and better at spacefaring. Thus, by
this model we would expect other people in the Cosmos to
become spacefaring. If they have a big head start, they
might already be here.
Encounters in the Cosmos

22

The HHM would say that encounters between ET nations

and Earth nations are similar to encounters between less
advanced nations and European explorers and exploiters.
Generally, the more advanced and organized the less
advanced nation was, the better it fared.
Example: Japan was politically united, and on its own
islands, militarily fearsome, despite having lower
technology than the Europeans. However, faced with a
massive display of American naval power (the ships were
carefully painted white and black to look impressive), the
Japanese government agreed to open up for trade and
diplomatic relations (ref. 13). They reorganized their
society and held the Americans and other foreigners at bay
militarily, thus preserving their sovereignty while most
other small Asian nations were conquered by the
Europeans. They adopted Western technology and finally
became a great power. This did not prevent them from
getting into trouble later, but they did very well during the
European Colonial period.
The American Indians present a tragic counter example.
They were politically disunited, had no concept of the
world view and ambitions of the Europeans and were
technically backward. However, it was not lack of
technology that caused them to lose their land; it was a
lack of comprehension of the threat they faced. If they had
known what they were facing from the beginning, they
could have swept the Europeans into the sea. Instead, they
lost almost everything, land, heritage, and most of their
population, to a slow but relentless advance of the white
man.
War in the Cosmos
The HHM tells there will be power politics between
peoples in the Cosmos. Sadly, it also tells us that since war
is merely politics extended by other means (ref. 14), there
must be war in the Cosmos between nations. I have already
referred to the Bible where it tells of war in heaven in
Revelations; Thus, it is written that Earth is not the only
arena of war.

23

I have often referred to the Bible in this talk and will do so

again; however, I also have spoken, in general, of books of
ancient wisdom of Earth and how they would be useful in
advising us concerning the Cosmos. I will now begin
referring to such a useful book of ancient wisdom. It is a
book of the East where the Bible is primarily a book of the
West, but it is ancient and wise in my view and along with
the Bible and other books I think it offers humanity great
help. This book is Sun Tzu, the Art of War. I commend this
book to your study. Sun Tzu writes to us, military action is
important to the nationit is the ground of death and life.
The path of survival and destruction, it is imperative to
examine it (ref. 15).
War occurs in the Cosmos as part of a struggle for
dominance; it is an aspect of the law of competition of
survival of the fittest. On Earth, nations go to war for
territory and resources so they can pros per and grow and
their competitors will wither and shrink, or be absorbed.
According to the HHM, wars occur in the Cosmos over
stars and planets and the space containing them.
We know that stars like the Sun that are single and-of its
special range F through K type are best for having life
bearing worlds around them, like the Earth (ref. 16). The
hotter stars are too short lived and the dimmer, cooler
ones are too unstable. We also know that planets like
Earth, that are living planets, with oxygen atmospheres,
and favorable temperatures, are rare. Only one such
planet exists in this star system which contains nine
planets. Mars may have once been a living planet, but it is
now dead. According to the HHM, people will fight over
land and ocean and resources like those found on Earth.
Therefore, the HHM says that the space containing stars
like the Sun around which orbit planets like the Earth,
with intelligent beings or not on them, are the things over
which people of the Cosmos probably fight wars. They
fight, because if you can have such a planet, you can settle
a million individuals on it, and they will become a billion in
a few centuries. If they can have ten such planets, a people
can prosper and become great; if a people loses ten such
planets to a competitor, then they will become weak and
despised... their seed will not be as the stars of heaven.

24

War between advanced peoples both of whom may possess

nuclear weapons is probably highly risky, even if one sides
space technology is highly superior. Nuclear weapons, like
gunpowder on Earth, is probably a great equalizer in the
Cosmos. In addition, space, by definition, allows cultures
to develop in great isolation from each other, and thus
have very different levels of technology. For these reasons,
wars in the Cosmos probably seldom take place between
equals. War on Earth most often comes about from a
perceived imbalance of military capabilities. Life on Earth
is not fair; probably neither is life in the Cosmos. So we
would expect some peoples will carry out wars of conquest
or extermination against their weaker and less advanced
neighbors. Since these wars will involve armed conflict
between very different cultures and species, they will
probably be very cruel, as such wars are on Earth. In
predicting this, I am supposing that some peoples of the
Cosmos will act more like biological entities rather than
moral civilized states. In saying this, I do not say all
peoples of the Cosmos will act ruthlessly towards their
neighbors, only some of them.
On Earth we have nations that are great and powerful and
others that are merely powerful. It is a dream that
scientific knowledge and technological power lead to
moral enlightenment in a nation, but we know on Earth
that some nations can have enormous wealth and scientific
and technological power, yet commit unspeakable crimes
and aggression against their own people and others. Nazi
Germany was for a period the most technologically
advanced power on Earth, with ballistic missiles, jet
fighter planes, and an active program to build nuclear
weapons. No power on Earth could rival it for a period.
Germany before this had been considered a center of
theology and culture. Yet in a few years, Germany
regressed into a nightmare and committed unspeakable
crimes against humanity.
Technology and morality do not go hand in hand on Earth
or probably anywhere-else in the Cosmos. One has only to
look at our own society to see this. For some nations,
technology merely provides ir resistible temptations to
abuse other nations.

25

Nor does the fact that a people dwell among the stars make
them moral and just. We dwell on a star, and it sits among
other stars, but we must constantly struggle with ourselves
to do right, and some times we fail at this. Therefore,
according to the HHM the Cosmos is as harsh and
desperate a place as it is beautiful. The laws of biology
dictate this, and Earth merely reflects it. Morality and
enlightenment must struggle against criminality and
darkness in the Cosmos as they do on the Earth, and
sometimes this struggle is armed.
Given the preceding discussion, a likely scenario for war in
the Cosmos is as follows: (1) an advanced space power
encounters a less advanced power; (2) the more advanced
power displays its power hoping to cow the less advanced
power into submission; (3) if this ploy succeeds, the
advanced power subjugates the lesser power without war;
and (4) The subjugated people may be merely enslaved or
else exterminated and the planet settled with the
victorious species. Sun Tzu says, The best policy is to use
strategy, influence, and the trend of events to cause the
adversary to summit willingly (ref. 17). That is, a military
victory can be had at little cost by first achieving
psychological victory over the enemy.
One successful psychological ploy that was used with great
success on Earth in analogous situations was to convince
the less advanced natives that the more advanced were
gods. This ploy was used by Cortez, who made ingenious
use of the Quetzacoatl legend in his attack on the Aztec
empire. Cortez also used calculated displays of cannon
fire, horses, and other technologies to convince the Aztec
envoys
that
he
possessed
supernatural powers.
Montezuma, the King of the Aztecs was almost hypnotized
or spooked by the Spanish. Finally, when the Aztecs
realized too late that the Spanish were just gold-hungry
flesh and blood people like themselves, the people killed
Montezuma for betraying them to the Spanish. Cortez by
this time had raised up the Indian nations long enslaved by
the Aztecs, and so managed to conquer an empire of
millions with only 800 men. Pizarro also pulled off such a
conquest again by spooking the Inca emperor into

26

believing he was divine. So, a former pig farmer with a few

hundred men conquered another empire of millions.
However, let us suppose that the less advanced power is
very tough minded and refuses to be cowed by the
advanced powers superior technology. Let us suppose also
that the lesser power rejects as psychological ploys the
advanced powers attempts to claim divinity, and that
these attempts to gain psychological advantages merely
harden the will of the less advanced people to fight. In this
case, two things could happen: (1) The advanced power will
withdraw or decide to establish normal and respectful
diplomatic ties with the lesser power. (2) The advanced
power may choose to wage war on the less advanced power
when psychological ploys used alone have failed. Here the
outcome is not nearly so predictable as one might imagine.
War between technological unequals is probably the norm
in the Cosmos rather than the exception. However, as on
Earth, technology is only one of many factors in war. The
factors are primarily:
Relative numbers of military forcesdoes one side have
overwhelming numbers?
Moral and discipline of the forcescan it be maintained in
the face of losses?
Length of supply linescan a large military effort be
sustained for long by both sides?
Political unity of opposing power groupscan one side
exploit divisions in the other?
Technologycan the high tech of one side be easily
countered by the low tech of the other?
Willare the less advanced people more willing to resist
than the more advanced are willing to press attacks?
Other Powerswill other powers stay out of the war or
intervene on one side or another?
Which side chooses the Wayone side or neither (ref. 18)?

27

As was discovered by the United States in Vietnam and the

Russians in Afghanistan, technological superiority alone is
not a deciding factor against adversaries who are
tenacious, clever, are willing to die rather than submit,
who have high morale, and who confront the advanced
power on their home territory. These wars also showed the
sensitivity of advanced powers to casualties, even when the
advanced power may not be known for its concern for
human life, as was the case with Russia. One Russian was
quoted as saying 30,000 dead was one days losses at
Stalingrad, but in Afghanistan it seems too much. The
difference was that 30,000 Germans died also and the
Russians were fighting for their homes and lives. Death on
foreign hostile territory, far from home, at the hands of
primitive natives is especially grievous to advanced
peoples, because, economically, a trained member of their
society is more costly to replace than a member of a more
primitive society, especially, if he must be trained in the
use of high tech weaponry and transported great distances
onboard expensive transports. Therefore, if a less
advanced society can maintain ferocious, long-term
resistance against an advanced aggressor operating far
from home, with limited forces, the less advanced people
can triumph. The more advanced people will simply find
they are bogged down and taking losses in an unwinnable
war far from home, and they will leave. In such a triumph,
morale and, if possible, religious zeal on the part of the
less advanced people is a decisive factor. I repeat, in a
conflict where a technically advanced power is waging a
war of aggression on a less advanced power, the morale
and will of the lesser power is what is decisive, not
technology alone. Sun Tzu, though he wrote of war, was
also a great moralist.
To him, a key factor in war was to follow the Way (ref.
18):
The Way means humaneness and justice. In ancient
times, a famous minister of state asked a political
philosopher about military matters. The philosopher said,
Humanensss and justice are the means to govern
properly. When government is carried out properly,

28

people feel close to the leadership and think little of dying

for it.
He also said (ref. 19):
Those who use arms will cultivate the Way and keep the
rules. Thus, they can govern in such a way as to prevail
over the corrupt.
A nation that uses its superior technology to try and
oppress and destroy less advanced neighbors does not
know of the Way. This is true on Earth, and I think this is
true throughout the Cosmos.
If a people departs from the Way to oppress their
neighbors, then neither the brilliance of their technology
and intellect, nor all their clever words can disguise it.
Sadly, this brings us to the subject of the present situation
regarding humanity and some of its fellow peoples of the
Cosmos and what forty years of ET contact have taught us.
Forty Years of Ufology: What Have We Learned?
A goal of this paper was to factor into our view of human
destiny what we have learned from forty years of contact
with ETs. In particular, what does the HHM do to unravel
for us what is reported concerning the last forty years.
Several observations can be made.
The first and primary observation is that, at least on the
surface, everything appears well. Humanity rules and
occasionally misrules, the Earth. No overt signs of ET
contact are seen. In the last forty years, humanity, itself,
has become spacefaring, advanced in power, and in some
ways, has gained wisdom. Except for a popular
preoccupation with ET contact fantasies, no outward sign
of ET Earth dialogue is apparent. The second observation
is that, like many situations on Earth, much is being
concealed. Concealment is usually a sign of conflict.
Sun Tzu wrote (ref. 20):

29

Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be

extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness.
Thereby, you can be the directors of the opponents fate.
The groups of extraterrestrials who seem to have-long
term interests here seem to be concealing their true
intentions and the governments of Earth are concealing
their true posture toward the extraterrestrials.
To learn anything from the past forty years of Ufology, one
must have a method of interpreting both the governments
and the ETs actions. We have such a method in the HHM.
What does the HHM tell that we have learned about the
past forty years? It tells us the following:
We are not in a region of space controlled by any one ET
nation; we know this because many species visit us.
Most ETs seem to have adopted a policy of benign noninterference in Earths affairs.
Most ETs are quite humanoid.
Three groups seem to be attempting to carry out a long
term activity here:
Reticulians or graysa species reportedly from Zeta
Reticuli 36 light years from Earth. (Reference 16) These
are the short, big-eyed, big-headed aliens.
The Tallssimilar to the Reticulians but more humanoid,
blonde, blue-eyedorigin unknown.
Nordicsvery humanoid, Scandinavian appearancestar
of origin unknown.
It must be stated that it is not clear to what extent these
three species intentions towards Earth coincide.
Some ET contact has been extremely positive and strongly
suggests that we will one day become a part of some
community of cosmic peoples of like beliefs to our own.

30

There does not appear to be any Galactic government

protecting primitive planets like Earth from ET contact.
Some ETs appear to be quite hostile to humanity.
This last point is an unpleasant and difficult one. However,
it merely means the Cosmos is like the Earth, and you live
on Earth, so you can deal with this possibility.
Unfortunately, it appears that the ETs with the most
interest in Earth are also the most hostile. How could it be
any different if humanity is involved?
The Secret Star Wars: The Real Truth About the Last Forty
Years
It is my analysis, based on the HHM, that the Reticulians
(or grays) are implacably hostile to humanity (fig. 1). As to
the Reticulian goal, there can be little doubt, for they have
come far, stayed long, suffered great losses, and expended
great resources, yet they will not reveal it to us. But, their
actions reveal their goal: to have the Earth for their own.
Their actions are not consistent with anything else. Our
government apparently realized this at some point in the
distant past, perhaps as-early as 1947. The government has
kept this secret locked up in Dreamland with its captured
discs. It is my belief that the fact of Reticulian hostility is
the actual great secret underlying the entire government
coverup concerning UFOs. However, this truth can no
longer be kept secret; it is apparent from both Reticulians
behaviors that are widely known in Ufology and the
governments reactions to them. I would argue that while it
may have been useful to have kept this secret in the past
(that is, the fear engendered by the knowledge of hostile
aliens might have been more dangerous than the aliens
themselves), it is now more dangerous to keep it secret,
because secrecy is now a hindrance to effective defense.
Ufology has withheld judgment for a long period
concerning the behavior of the Reticulians. This was
justified because, in the past, data was scanty and
unreliable. We have avoided judging the Reticulians
actions by human standards because they were not human,
and we like to withhold judgment even on humans until we
have some basic level of knowledge about them. We also

31

have tended to place less credibility on reports of

Reticulians atrocities and hostile acts because they
frighten us, and because they are at odds with our picture
of ETs as the hoped for space brothers, the angelic
saviors of humanity. However, the truth appears to be that
the truly benevolent ET nations want little to do with us,
and that humanity has only God and itself to look to for
salvation. It appears our government has been involved in
a Secret Star Wars with the Reticulians. This Star War is
sometimes cold, sometimes hot and has been punctuated
by cynical truces and cease fires, but Star War is the best
term for it. Is this government posture justified; I would
argue, yes, absolutely.
The time is now ripe for Ufology to make a judgment
regarding the behavior of the Reticulians and their
cohorts. I give you my judgment: the emperor has no
clothes, the Reticulians and their crimes are naked. It is
widely and reliably reported now that the Reticulians are
engaged in horrifying behavior.
They abduct and terrorize people beginning often with
children (ref. 21).
They mutilate cattle and leave them for their owners to
find (ref. 22).
Their breeding program is an abominable crime against
humanity (ref. 23).
They kill people; only whether it is murder 1, 2, or 3 is
debatable (ref. 24).
They invade our airspace and destroy our warplanes and
pilots sent to defend our airspace (ref. 25, ref. 26).

FIGURE 1. The Hostile Reticulian. Out of numbers of

peoples in our cosmic neighborhood, the Reticulians have
demonstrated implacable hostility to humanity. But this
hostility is not irrational, we both want the Earth and only
one can have it. They must be, and will be, opposed by all
means necessary.

32

This pattern of behavior by the Reticulians indicates a

complete disregard for human rights, life, or dignity. Some
have said that those are crimes by human standards, but
perhaps not by Reticulian standards.
I argue that this is Earth, and humanity and its standards
rule on Earth, so if they are crimes by human standards,
then as far as we are concerned, they are crimes by any
standard. I further argue that murder, mutilation,
abduction, and hostile intrusion into a planets airspace
are crimes on any planet.
The HHM gives an astonishing
interpretation of Reticulian behavior:

Psychological warfare to induce surrender

Desire for Secrecy:
Mafia, Terrorist Groups
Disguise military weakness
It is even reported that the Reticulians have claimed to
have invented Jesus Christ (ref. 27). If this is what the
Reticulians have claimed, it is a contemptible lie. The
Reticulians by their actions have shown themselves to be
completely ignorant of Christs teachings. Even the devil
can quote scripture, and appear as an angel of light (ref.
28, ref. 29). This claim concerning Christ is in my opinion,
again, a naked attempt to gain psychological domination
over humanity. As awful as such behavior is, it clearly
indicates their utter disrespect for human religious beliefs
and is thus clearly a warning. For Christians this makes
our conflict with the Reticulians particularly apparent and
mortal. For it is written.
And every spirit that confesses not that Jesus Christ is
come in the flesh is not of God and this is the spirit of the
antichrist... I John 4:3
To a Christian, what could be a simpler decision. Either the
Bible or the Reticulian is lying, and the Reticulians are
commonly reported to be liars about even petty things. So,
it would not surprise me if the Reticulians soon claim to
have invented Moses, the Ten Commandments, and the
electric light bulb. Ignore these claims. Our conflict with
the Reticulians is a mortal one in that we are dealing with a
power that wishes to destroy everything we regard as
precious and holy in the Earth. In my view, surrender to
the Reticulians is suicide and holocaust; it is unthinkable.
It is obvious that, when analyzed by HHM, the Reticulians
actions have strong parallels in every record of human
oppression and terror. The Reticulians resemble an
Earthly terrorist state such as Iran, Libya, North Korea, or
the Mafia. I would argue that its strongest parallel is Nazi
Germany, because of its utter disregard for human values
and its abominable crimes against humanity seen in its
breeding program. This would mean that humanitys

34

introduction to the Cosmos has actually become a

confrontation with a latter day Axis alliance with the
Reticulians playing Nazi Germany, and the Talls and
Nordics playing the roles of Fascist Italy and Imperial
Japan. Like the Nazis, the Reticulians are bent on
conquest. There can be little doubt as to their goal: to seize
the Earth for themselves.
This, I would argue, is the real secret of the past forty
years, not that ETs have come to Earth, but that hostile ETs
have come to Earth. In response, the government has tried
to lock this terrible truth away from public awareness.
Like the publicly known Star Wars concept, it has a bizarre
dual existence as the stuff of both tabloid headlines and the
blackest of the black programs.
The arrival of this Reticulians Axis has triggered every
possible defensive action by our government and other
world governments, and I think this is justified. The
government has particularly made every possible attempt
to gain understanding of Reticulians technology. It has
been reported that the government has even entered into
agreements with the Reticulians and allowed them
sanctuary on some military bases. Why would a
government do such a thing if it believed the Reticulians
were vile and hostile? They would do it because they must
have knowledge, as Sun Tzu states (ref. 30):
A major military operation is a severe drain on the
nation, and may be kept up for years in the struggle for one
days victory. So to fail to know the conditions of
opponents because of reluctance to give rewards for
intelligence is extremely inhumane, uncharacteristic of a
true military leader, uncharacteristic-of an assistant of the
government, uncharacteristic of a victorious chief. So what
enables an intelligent government and a wise military
leadership to overcome others and achieve extraordinary
accomplishments is foreknowledge.
Foreknowledge cannot be gotten from ghosts and spirits,
cannot be had by analogy, cannot be found out by
calculation. It must be obtained from people, people who
know the conditions of the enemy.

35

So, our government may have done such things. This

covert Star Wars involves espionage and counter
espionage, and it is not pleasing to look upon. However,
the more vile and hostile the Reticulians, the more
necessary such dialogue with them becomes. In addition,
the government would attempt to keep this situation secret
from its own people by whatever means possible. The
government, in a sense, has been trying to preserve the
Prime Directive. Unfortunately, this has required the
government to lie continually to its people, among other
things that it has done. Our government has, in general,
done what governments do when they are threatened with
war by a powerful and unknown enemy. Now, it is
becoming plain that this situation can no longer be kept
secret.
One would immediately protest that if the Reticulians are
implacably hostile to humanity, why dont they attack since
they are so powerful? My first response is that many of us
have enemies, but when they attack openly, it is usually a
relief; for the most part, treachery and intimidation are
the rule in conflicts between individuals and nations. My
second response is that humanity has enormous military
power on Earths surface and in its atmosphere, and the
Reticulians are a space power, with few forces available
and far from home; so they are powerful but so are we.
They are more advanced, but they are not as powerful as
they want us to think. My third response is that the Cosmos
is probably a complicated place, and these complications
place constraints on Reticulian actions just as they
constrain the actions of Earth nations.
What can be done about this situation? I would argue that
much can be done and this situation is neither hopeless,
nor beyond us in Ufology from making a contribution.
However, one must not avoid the impact of this realization
that humanity is probably confronted with a powerful
and merciless enemy.
God, Guts, and Guns Against the Reticulians
For me, the impact of the Secret Star War, the concept of
the Reticulians as implacable enemies of humanity and of
our government, brought me closer to God. However, I

36

went through a classic grief reaction. First, there was fear

and white-hot rage alternating with denial and terrible
grief. Then, there was despair and nights of prayer. Then,
there was courage and hope. Finally, there was also
resolve: God is with humanity; if we must fight the
Reticulians, God will fight for us also. I would argue that
he already fights for us, and that the strength of His arm
was seen at Roswell, before anyone even knew we had an
enemy (fig. 2). For there, in one stroke, a Reticulians craft
fell even as we celebrated the Fourth of July, and ourgovernment found the Reticulians craft shattered and the
bodies of Reticulians scattered about as food for the
buzzards and coyotes. We thus knew from the onset that
the Reticulians were flesh and blood and not invincible or
infallible. We also knew they had crashed while spying on
what was then one of our most secret defense installations,
showing our government their possible hostile intent. So,
God has helped us from the beginning, before we even
knew we needed help.
We are much stronger militarily than we were in 1947. The
human race has never been more technologically advanced
or more united than it is now. I believe we are only a
breakthrough away from a unified field theory that will
allow us to control gravity with electromagnetism. When
we achieve this we will be able to duplicate much of the
Reticulians technology and eventually improve on it. I am
myself working on such a theory, and I know many others
are also working on it; may God help us in our work.
Finally, it is known that weapons we already possess are
effective against the Reticulians and their ships. Many of
the reported crashes of alien ships were not accidents;
they were victories in a secret war with a secret enemy.
Many brave men have died already to defend their country
and their people. Let us remember their sacrifice.
So, with Gods help, I found courage and resolve to fight
the Reticulians and their Axis. I see reason for grave
concern, but I see reasons to be encouraged also. We will
win. We will win, because God is with us, and we seek His
help. We will win because we are strong and brave and
ready to die, if necessary; and we will win because we have
already shown our weapons are powerful against the Axis;
and while they may rule in space, we rule on Earth, and in

37

its atmosphere. We will win because necessity is the

mother of invention, and we do not need to duplicate
Reticulians technology to render it useless to them. So
God, Guts, and Guns are our key allies in victory.
Much more could be said about this matter and will be
said; however, this paper is not about the present but
about the future. So, let us now consider how what we have
learned in the last forty years will impact our future. In
particular, what can we in Ufology do to positively impact
the human future, given our knowledge of the past forty
years.
Concisely summarized: The past forty years of Ufology
have taught us that the Cosmos is like the Earth and that
the dynamics of nations in the Cosmos resembles the
dynamics of nations on Earth. On Earth we have seen
powerful advanced nations try to oppress weak and lessadvanced nations. We now see a repetition of that struggle
of nations in a vaster arena with the past forty years being
a struggle between two astonishingly powerful groups of
nations in the Cosmos, humanity and the Reticulians Axis.
There are apparently a cloud of other cosmic nations,
silent watchers, also monitoring these events. So, we
have learned something, but what can we do with this
knowledge?
You in Ufology are the only group outside of thegovernment that has the slightest inkling of what the real
human situation is. I have spoken of a problem: I will now
tell you what positive step you can do to help this situation.
The key concept is that humanitys destiny, so far as it is
under the control of flesh and blood, is in its own hands.
So, it is human intentions, not the intentions of the
Reticulians, that are important. So, what are your
intentions?

Roswell, New Mexico. The irony of fate dictates that as the
Reticulians and their craft lay fallen and broken, the
nation celebrates Independence Day.

The Rainbow Declaration

The Rainbow Declaration was written as an attempt to
declare what the people of the Earth, humanity, should
agree amongst themselves and what they should declare to
their fellow peoples of the Cosmos as to their beliefs and
intentions. Its themes are equality and fellowship before
God of all peoples of the Cosmos and the basic rights of all
peoples. The prominent mention of God in this document
is wholly appropriate, I believe; and I cannot conceive of a
document discussing such basic rights and truths without
mention of God. If there are laws that are universal, then
only God can establish them and command respect for
them. If all people are part of a great family, then only God
can be its head. I borrowed heavily from great works of our
human heritage and science fiction. Such borrowings are
intended as acts of homage rather than plagiarism.
The Rainbow Declaration is also dialogue. It is a
declaration to God that we recognize His law and truth. It
is a declaration to ourselves that we recognize our oneness
and our place in the stars. It is a declaration to the
government that we want to known the truth, even if it
hurts, and that we want the extraterrestrials to be dealt
with in a unified front with the other nations of Earth.
Finally, it is a declaration to the extraterrestrials
themselves that we are ready for an open and equal
dialogue with them, that we expect the rights of all peoples
to be respected, and that our expansion into the Cosmos
will not be at their expense. In particular, it will put the
Reticulians Axis on notice that we view their conduct here
as unacceptable.
The Declaration Analyzed
The Preamble to the Declaration is essentially a statement
of who we are as a people and our concerns as people of
how precious the Earth and its environment is to us. I call
for an end to slaughter of the whales, because I want all
victimization of intelligent beings on Earth to stop; and the
first step is to end our victimization of these intelligent,
friendly creatures of the sea, who were honored by special
mention in Genesis as one of Gods great creations (ref.
31).

39

The first article states that relations between humanity

and other peoples of the Cosmos should be open and
public. There should be no secret treaties between
terrestrial and extraterrestrial powers. The document
states that all of these relations should be handled through
the General Secretary of the United Nations, acting in
consultation with the Security Council, and that the
Security Council should ratify all agreements.
This may strike some of you as a surrender of American
sovereignty to the United Nations, which many of you have
a poor opinion of. However, the United States sits on the
Security Council as a permanent member and has veto
power over anything it does not like (ref. 32). Reportedly,
in the present situation, the United States is acting as an
ambassador to the Cosmos on humanitys behalf.
Considering all that has reportedly transpired, I do not
think this reflects well on us, and we should give up the
job. The United Nations is a human organization and like
humanity has many flaws and frailties, but the United
States, in my opinion, would do better leading humanity as
a loyal member of the United Nations than trying to
pretend it speaks for humanity. Much of humanity would
probably resent this deeply if they knew the United States
were acting in this role.
Article two begins by greeting our fellow peoples of the
Cosmos and asking them to pay careful attention to the list
of basic rights.
It also says that we think all peoples are equal in Gods
sight and this may be a revolutionary concept to some in
the Cosmos. Much of the rest of the document is selfexplanatory, except for the part about genetic code.
The reference to genetic code deserves special explanation.
It was decided that this code must be protected because the
genetic code of a people is an instruction book on how to
live on their planet of Genesis and how to fight the many
bacterial and viral infections found there. Therefore, to
take a peoples genetic code, outside of an open scientific
exchange, is a hostile act and indicates an alien power is
considering colonization of a planet with its own species.

40

The final right is the right to assert and defend the rights
listed. This is not a fairy tale document; it was written in
recognition that some people, some nations, and some
species, understand only force. Some in the Cosmos
obviously believe that might makes right; this is not a new
idea on Earth. Many have believed it in our history, but
they were proved wrong. Right makes might, friends, and I
have written The Rainbow Declaration that its truth might
strengthen you.
Finally, the Rainbow Declaration closes with the
statements: that all peoples ought to treat all other peoples
as they themselves desire to be treated, and that
humanitys highest goal is to join, as an equal partner, in
the community of the peoples of the Cosmos. The Rainbow
Declaration is as follows:
____________________
THE RAINBOW DECLARATION
We, the people of Earth, do make this solemn Rainbow
Declaration. We Acknowledge our common childhood
before the Creator, God, and Judge of all the Cosmos, both
visible and invisible. We recognize the planet Earth as our
Planet of Genesis, our home, and our hereditary treasure.
We pledge to keep and preserve the Earth for all humanity
for all generations. We call upon all humanity to treat one
another with kindness, justice, and peace. We call upon all
humanity to work together to ease the effects of hunger,
disease, and overpopulation. Let there be no more killing
of the whales, great and small, and let humanity seek to
preserve the whole family of living things on the Earth.
This declaration takes its name from the Rainbow, which
symbolizes the promises of God to humanity, the unity
within diversity that is humanity, and the beauty of the
Earth which is humanities.
Article One
In true Unity there is strength and general benefit;
therefore, on all matters concerning extraterrestrial
peoples we shall be as One. We recognize the office of the

41

Secretary General of the United Nations, acting with the

advice and consent of the Security Council, as the sole
representative of humanity in all dealings with
extraterrestrials. All relations and agreements will be open
and public, and all agreements must be ratified by the
Security Council to be in force.
Article Two
To our fellow peoples in the community of the Cosmos, we
extend greetings; we recognize you as fellow children of
the Creator of the Cosmos. Please give careful
consideration to our declaration that it might serve as a
basis for good relations.
Section One
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all peoples are
created equal and are endowed by the Creator with certain
inalienable rights.
Section Two
The right of Possession of their homeworld, their Planet of
Genesis. No one shall take any portion of their world from
them.
Section Three
The right of Sanctity of Planet of Genesis from alien
intrusion or interference. No alien visitation shall occur
until the people realize their Unity and achieve space travel
of their own; this is the Prime Directive for all space-faring
peoples. No alien spacecraft shall make close approach, or
assume close orbit, or make any landing, except openly
and by consent of global authority.
Section Four
The right of Possession of Genetic Code. No alien shall take
a peoples Genetic Code for any use, except under
reciprocal scientific exchange, negotiated openly by global
authority.

42

Section Five
The right to permanent occupation of all bodies orbiting
their Planet of Genesis of the sun of their Planet, which is
their Star of Genesis, and permanent authority over the
space containing these bodies. No alien bases may be
established permanently on bodies or stations orbiting a
Planet or Star of Genesis, but must be evacuated upon
landing by the people of this Planet or Star, except there
shall be negotiated a treaty granting temporary lease.
Section Six
The right of Freedom of Peaceful Navigation of Space shall
be enjoyed by all peoples except where it conflicts with the
Sanctity of Planet of Genesis.
Section Seven
The right of peoples to Assert and Defend the
aforementioned rights and the right to give and receive aid
consistent with these rights, when these rights shall be
endangered. In case of dispute, the burden of proof-ofinnocence shall fall on those who are alien, for it is the
burden of the strong and advanced to help preserve the
rights of the weak and less advanced.
Final Article
We pledge to uphold these rights and principles in all
relations with all peoples we shall encounter, whether we
be aliens or they in these encounters. We declare that all
peoples should seek to treat all other peoples as they
themselves would desire to be treated, and that all peoples
of the Cosmos should seek peaceful and mutually
beneficial relations with each other. We declare that it is
our deepest desire that humanity might take its place as an
honored and valuable member of the community of
peoples of the Cosmos.

Ownership of the Rainbow Declaration

43

The Rainbow Declaration was written by my hand, and I

am very proud of it; however, it does not belong to me. It
belongs to whomever embraces it and believes its truths
and affirmations. The Declaration is, for this reason, not
copyrighted and anyone may reproduce or sell copies of it
with my blessings. It is my gift to humanity, because of
humanitys faith and courage and strength. Perhaps a
better declaration could be written; I encourage anyone to
try, but I desire, rather, that the Rainbow Declaration will
be embraced by you for now, so that humanity can move
forward into its destiny.
The Rainbow Declaration as Necessary
I believe the Rainbow Declaration, or some similar
statement of principles, is vital to the future of humanity.
Without such a document it will be harder for humanity to
find the Way to its true destiny The history of humanity is a
history of great documents that state transcendent
principles. These documents and declarations have served
to light the Way of humanity and not only articulated the
consensus of the people but helped form it.
I therefore urge that the Rainbow Declaration or some
similar declaration be endorsed by the major
organizations of Ufology and from them to the Congress,
and then to the United Nations, so that all of humanity
might come together on these vital issues while we have
time to discuss them objectively.
Before the future can occur, it must be imagined. This is
self actualization. Let us imagine and proclaim for
ourselves a future where humanity is a light to the Cosmos,
rather than a blot upon it or a victim of it. Let it be that
when other peoples of the Cosmos think of us they imagine
a Rainbow of Light. Let us look into the future.
____________________
ADVICE TO A YOUNG SPECIES
You are a young vigorous species and new to the cosmic
scene. You are strong and full of promise. Here is some
advice for you.

44

Trust in God, Guts, and Guns to preserve you among the

stars.
Beware of Greeks bearing gifts.
Do justly to all people and preserve the family of life on all
worlds.
Never, never give in to bully boys with fancy toys.
Talk softly, but always carry a big stick.
A people becomes great because of what it lovesnot
because of what it hates.
Boldly go where no one has gone before, and seek your
kindred and your destiny among the stars.
____________________
Summary and Conclusions
I have tried to convey to you my understanding of the
human situation and the destiny of humanity. I hope I have
succeeded in causing you to think in new ways about the
past, the present, and the future.
I have spoken to you of the future and of an increase of
knowledge. I have spoken of the day when Ufology as we
know it, will pass away and will become exoanthropology,
the outstretched hand of humanity to other peoples. For
Ufology represents knowledge in part, and when
knowledge that is whole comes, that which is in part must
pass away. Exoanthropology will then become the
forefront of humanity reaching out to other beings in the
Cosmos.
I have told you we are most likely involved in a dialogue
with other people of the Cosmos. I think you are
participants in this dialogue. I have given you the Rainbow
Declaration, which you can choose to be your own positive
contribution to this dialogue. I think that if this is done,

45

our long journey to reach humanitys destiny will begin on

the right path and with the right guide.
Life on Earth is sometimes harsh and brutal. Good does
not survive or triumph on Earth merely because it exists. It
must continually struggle. I see no reason to believe life in
the Cosmos should be any different.
I see on Earth the triumph of good, Godliness, justice, and
democracy, but only after a long and bitter struggle that
sometimes looked hopeless. Earth is part of the Cosmos
not an anomaly of itand good triumphs here. It must also
triumph elsewhere.
It is possible that Mars holds the same drama recorded
there as we see on Earth, but this drama ended tragically
there. If this is the case, let us never forget what Mars
teaches us.
Our participation in the dialogue of the Cosmos tells us the
same message. I think there is much good in the Cosmos as
well as evil; we know this from the reports of friendly,
respectful contacts we have heard, and we know it from
the good we see here on our own world and in our own
people. This is how I know things will be well in the end.
However, if we are to achieve this good, we must strive for
it, and we must declare our allegiance to it. We must be
prepared for struggle to ensure the triumph of good. To
see our true path, we must have open eyes and minds. We
must be brave and force ourselves to comprehend what we
do not want to comprehend, but which is true and must be
accepted. Only then can our light truly shine in the
Cosmos.
I tell you again that based on my analyses, the Reticulians
and their Axis allies mean to destroy humanity and possess
this planet for themselves. The character, depth, and
duration of their activities here can indicate nothing else.
You must be prepared to use any means necessary to stop
them in this intention; to surrender is deathto fight them
is life.

46

I say further that if you are not prepared to accept this sad
truth, even as a possibility, then you are not really ready to
know the truth about the last forty years. I believe our
government can no long er keep this Star Wars Secret any
longer; to fight the Reticulians will require a level of
resources and public sacrifice no secret program can ask.
To gain victory over the Reticulians, mobilization, not
secrecy, must become the governments first priority. The
terrible truth must be let out to be confronted by the
government and ourselves and all of Earth in the broad
daylight. It is only then that this threat can be overcome.
You have a role to play in this conflict. I have given you the
Rainbow Declaration. It is a powerful weapon; use it.
I believe, with Gods help, humanity is strong enough, and
brave enough, and clever enough, to triumph in this
conflict which we did not begin. The Reticulians may be a
Goliath technologically, but morally and ethically, they are
pygmies; this is the root of their defeat.
You may see in the Reticulians an ancient and brilliant
race; I see a forlorn and empty people, fallen and
corrupted from the state wherein they developed the
technology they now possess, debasing themselves on the
Earth, victimizing the helpless and crudely terrorizing the
defenseless. Their actions reveal their weaknessesas it is
said what you are shouts so loud I cannot hear what you
are saying.
The fact that a nation should come to us from another star,
riding in vessels of brilliant technology and yet commit
unspeakable crimes here is shocking; yet it is quite
consistent with our understanding of elemental evil from
the ancient books. It is curious that Reticuli means net,
and the net is used throughout the Bible as a symbol of
evil, misfortune, and also testing. As it is written in
Ecclesiastes 9:11.
I returned and saw under the Sun that the race is not to
the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to
the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet
favour to men of skill; but time and chance happened to
them all. For a man knoweth not his time: as the fishes
are taken in an evil net and as the birds that are caught in a

47

snare; so are the sons of man snared in an evil time, when

it falleth suddenly upon them.
We also see the net used as symbol of testing in Matthew
13:01 and in the last, gentle moment of Johns record of
Jesus (ref. 33), as perhaps an allegory of a testing of the
nations of Earth, which like the fish netted in the story
number roughly 150. So, perhaps someone who has known
this all would occur has left these mysterious symbols of
this knowledge. So, let us seek the Way and the truth and
the light, and oppose evil with all our might.
The Reticulians and their Axis do not know the Way; if they
did, they would not do the things they have done here. As it
is written, by their fruits you shall know them (ref. 34).
So comfort yourselves in God and in the brave heritage of
Earth. Perhaps a great storm comes, but all is calm now,
and after forty years of the Reticulians attempts to
dominate here, the Earth still stands, and humanity still
stands, more brilliant and more powerful than ever before.
So, let us be of good courage; if the Reticulians are here to
destroy us, then they are obviously having a difficult time.
For Sun Tzu instructs us (ref. 35):
Therefore I have heard of military operations that were
clumsy but swift, but I have never seen one that was
skillful and lasted along time. It is never beneficial to a
nation to have a military operation continue a long time.
If it is so, and I suspect it is, our government, rather than
being a villain, is actually a hero in many ways as are many
of our abductees, who have resisted the terror tactics of
the Reticulians. It is mainly the government that has
opposed the Reticulians for forty years. Let us remember
also that if the Secret Star Wars scenario is true, then
many brave men of our nation and many other nations
have died fighting in a war that few even guessed existed,
their loved ones never knowing why they died or how. This
same government made up of men and women like
ourselves and prone to the same mistakes, has struggled
mightily to both hold the Reticulians Axis at bay and at the
same time carry on a dialogue with them to try and gain
desperately needed knowledge of their technology. If this
is so, then it is little wonder that the truth has been hidden

48

and why those who knew it have kept this truth with such
determined secrecy. For no one can keep a secret like a
man who believes he holds truths that will devastate those
whom he loves. So, let us not judge our government nor
condemn them for the mistakes they may have made in
this struggle. I have not walked in their shoes and neither
have you, so let us stand with them.
Summary
In summary, I have stressed three main points:
That it is the destiny of humanity to find its greatness and
its kindred among the stars.
That humanity is prepared for this destiny because the
Earth is a microcosm of the Cosmos and its people, with
the dynamics between people in the Cosmos resembling
the dynamics of nations on Earth.
That in order to find the Way to its destiny, humanity must
make a document similar to the Rainbow Declaration its
creed and guide. It is only in this way that humanity can
find the right Way to its true destiny in the stars.
Finally, trust in God, for He made the Cosmos both seen
and unseen and all it contains. Surely He has helped us
already against the dangers of the Cosmos. But He has also
allowed these dangers to come upon us for His own
mysterious reasons. Let us not disappoint him in our
dealing with these dangers. God delights in courage and
bravery. Be people of faith, like it is written, who turned
to fight the armies of the aliens (ref. 36). Joyfully go forth
to seek the wonders and challenges that lay beyond the
present and which are our destiny. So humanity, beloved
children of Earth, reach for the stars ... boldly go ...
